Job 15:22
Compare all
20 The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,
aAnd the number of years is hidden from the oppressor. 
21 1Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
aIn prosperity the destroyer comes upon him. 
22 He does not believe that he will areturn from darkness,
For a sword is waiting for him. 
23 He awanders about for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows bthat a day of darkness is ready at his hand. 
24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid;
They overpower him, like a king ready for1 battle.
